00:00What's up GQ? It's DK Metcalf. Today I'm going undercover on the internet.
00:07It's actually me.
00:11Reddit.
00:14Is DK Metcalf the most physical receiver in the NFL?
00:19I will say yes, because nobody blocks like me, besides an Olami.
00:25Is it true you learn sign language to talk smack without getting fined?
00:29If you do, you the GOAT for that.
00:32No, I wouldn't go that far, just to smack talk.
00:35But I did learn sign language because I try to do something every football season to not just feel like I'm a football player.
00:42So in the past, I took acting lessons during the football season.
00:45So right now, I've transitioned to ASL.
00:48Next.
00:50DK Metcalf continues his aerial assault on the rim.
00:55Who would be better, DK in the NBA or Zion in the NFL?
01:01I think we both are great at what we do, and I think we should stick there.
01:05The world may never know.
01:07I don't think we can say that, because it's a tootsie roll.
01:10Not a tootsie roll commercial, but you know.
01:14Seahawks' DK Metcalf eats just one meal a day and bizarre candy-centric diet.
01:20That one meal, two full chickens, 12 eggs, one pound of rice, and one pound of cooked spinach.
01:26See, this caused a lot of controversy back in the day, so I'm going to take a moment just to address these allegations.
01:34Yes, I only ate one meal a day.
01:36It's because I would drink coffee in the middle of the day.
01:38Coffee is a diuretic, so it would hold over my appetite for a few hours.
01:42I would then eat dinner around 7, 8 o'clock.
01:46In between dinner and after drinking my coffee, I would indulge in a few bags of candy.
01:50You know, that was just my choice.
01:52Probably going through a little depression phase, but that's just how I coped with it.
01:56I would eat a large dinner, but it did not consist of two full chickens, 12 eggs, one pound of rice.
02:02Does that answer your question?
02:08I think I'm the best wide receiver in the league, but that's just my personal opinion.
02:12There's a lot of great players, a lot of great wide receivers in the league, some of which I look up to and model some of my game after.
02:18My biggest influence, I would say, has been either Calvin Johnson or Randy Moss.
02:29That is a great question.
02:30Knowing situational football, knowing when to stay down, when to take my shot, when to block, when to run my routes right.
02:36Just my IQ about football in general.
02:42Call yourself a big Call of Duty fan, but on play Warzone, maybe they should have like sentence correct on here for you.
02:57I'm a big ranked player now, so this may have motivated me, may not, but we'll see you in a 1v1, see who wins.
03:04Next.
03:08What does rest day look like for this guy?
03:11Maybe sit in my hyperbaric chamber for a little bit.
03:13Maybe ease in my mind with a little Call of Duty.
03:15Only Warzone from my last contestant.
03:18Of course, I'm in my Lululemon essentials.
03:20Maybe a tank top, my comfortable Lululemon socks, and I have some orange Lululemon slides that I wear around the house.
03:27That's my rest day outfit, sponsored by Lululemon.
03:37No, they're not.
03:38I'm not a big fan of frames.
03:40No offense card here.
03:41I'm wearing your watch right now.
03:43I'm a big fan of your watch, just not the frames.
03:56Yeah, I do like Gunna's album.
03:57I think Gunna's a very good artist, but I'm also a big fan of other genres of music.
04:01I'm a big fan of soul music right now.
04:03Johnny Taylor, Teddy Pendergrass, Bobby Womack.
04:06You know, the good guys.
04:13Pretty much whatever the trainer has me do that day.
04:16I just do one extra rep of everything.
04:18If it says 12, I do 14 because 13's a bad luck number and 14 is my number.
04:23Post it.
04:34I miss Russ, man, but y'all said what a route.
04:38I just ran a go route, so it was only one direction.
04:41Not like the music group, but it was one direction.
04:44I miss all my old teammates, but that's the business of the league.
04:47That's the business that a lot of us are in, but I got friends and brothers for a lifetime.
04:56Damn, I was young.
04:57I want to know how much was the fine for this.
05:02You know, I was in college, so they can't fine you.
05:16I would definitely say Bo Jackson.
05:17One of the greatest athletes to ever walk this planet Earth, but just to be mentioned in the same sentence as him is a big honor.
05:23So, I appreciate that whoever said that on Quora.
05:32I miss D.K. Metcalf or Mike Tyson.
05:35Why y'all ask me this question, man?
05:36I'm not going to back down from a challenge, but yeah, Mike Tyson, I don't want no smoke.
05:41Please.
05:42Next.
05:51I would say my chances are probably better than yours, whoever said this.
05:56Nice try.
05:57Reply.
06:02Between Noah Lyles, D.K. Metcalf, and Tyreek Hill.
06:04Well, Noah Lyles just won the gold in 100 meters, so good luck, D.K., racing that guy.
06:10But Tyreek Hill, you know how I feel about this.
06:18Moving on.
06:20YouTube.
06:25Is Rodman the hair inspo for D.K. or who?
06:28I would say Dennis Rodman is an inspiration to my life.
06:32He does not care what people think about him.
06:34He's going to do him regardless, and I love that.
06:37That's who I model my game after, being a badass.
06:42Instagram.
06:44D.K. Metcalf is the only man alive that looks scary in a neon green crop top and short shorts.
06:50I think I did bring the crop top back.
06:53Other people say they may have.
06:55I know Ezekiel Elliott wore his jersey like a crop top.
06:58Yeah, I mean, I just wanted to show off my abs a little bit.
07:01Bang.
07:03On to Wikipedia.
07:07Metcalf has been in a relationship with American singers since.
07:11Relationship with American singers since 2022.
07:19Moving on.
07:36That is all correct.
07:38The proceeds went to Prison Fellowship,
07:40an organization that I hold dear to my heart
07:42because I was young in college and I was just sitting in church
07:45and never really thought about prisoners having a second chance at life
07:49or a second chance at finding Christ.
07:51And I just took it upon myself to partner with that organization
07:55when I later got into the NFL.
07:57Post it.
07:59Metcalf is a born-again Christian.
08:01I am.
08:02Hence why I wear my cross necklace and I never take it off.
08:05May switch from gold to silver, but I always have it on
08:08when I'm playing, at practice, when I'm showering, anywhere.
08:12Okay, that's it for me.
08:14Thanks for all of your questions.
08:16Just hope you learned something new about me.
08:18This is DK Metcalf, and I'm signing off.
